Will the 27.5 size mountain bikes be the next batch of " bikes to own" after the 26ers?

I simply have a stamp of approval for the new breed. 29ers are just doubtful---race geometry, handling issues, oversized complaints and many more. So----27.5-650Bs will dominate the podiums?

    I don't see it happening. Many people still prefer 26ers to 29ers. There is considerable loyalty to each size. I don't see the 27.5 being anything more than an inbetween size that only appeals to a small percent of mountain bikers.

    If we start seeing 27.5's on the podium, it will have more to do with the rider than the tire size of the bike. The same guys who reach the podium now could do it on a 26er, a 29er, and a 27.5.
